Heaths Flooded Tube Vertical

un saludo despe eres dun fenomeno

Just wondering why you didn't use a 1000 watt bulb ? Loved it though building one next time I go to my house in the UK

A union is a connection that's twist together.

As for why heath use's a 600w light he believe's that they are just more efficient is all. What he pull's with just one 600w light I'm sure he would do wonder's with a 1k.

I am looking to build a similar system in a 54inx54in tent with 4"pvc I'm thinking. I seen Pyro's but I like being able to break things down easily so 50' of 5" tubing is hard to put some where. lol.

I'm not sure how the 4" will effect the plants though so I was curious if anyone has tried it ? I would go with the 6" if I have to just a lot more money for pipe and fittings.

I like the fact if power goes out you can have a way on top to just pour water through it if needed. So your not losing any crops.

I use 4" pipe and works well for me. One time I vegged too long and the roots were filling up the whole pipe, had a little drip coming from the plant site. But I vegged 4 weeks from clone with that one... vacation screwed up timing. Usually veg 2 weeks or so from clone.

Lots of pics in my journals and lots of vids on my channel

And my guess on using a 600 is that it's more efficient than a 600. Heath seems to enjoy efficiency.

Glad you pointed me towards your page ill be over there to ask some ?'s

Sorry, my sig isn't clear anymore. Grow 3 is 1 level of that tubing. Grow 4-8 is the 2 level setup. Before that I was DWC.

Question is it a complete 360 or is there a section missing so you can get into it

there is just a small space under the 45 degree pipe on the ground that he crawls under.

So its a complete circle ?

So its a Complete 360 so say ?

More like a square corkscrew.

would bumping up to 1000 double yeild? i dont think it would. it would be way more efficient to build a 2nd system to double yeild and run 2 600s.

excellent work Heath Robinson!

I was wondering, where does he put his carbon scrubber?

Since I can't remember how to subscribe to a post, I'm posting on it so I'm subscribed. ANyone who cares to remind me, please go ahead and tell me-- I'm subscribed, after all.

I wonder, has anyone achieved similar yields with comparable setup using soil instead of hydro? If anyone knows of something like that documented, would be greatly appreciated.

There was a guy on here a few years back that was growing in an organic mix in utility buckets, each with a chicken wire around the top and a large CFL dropped inside the screen directly hanging over each bucket's top. It was pretty easy maintenance, he ScrOG'd/LST'd the plant around the bulb and flowered halfway up, so it was like a small tree vertical in each pot. Longer veg times than Heath's set up though, as per usual with ScrOG.

This was my first introduction to this site a while back under a different name which I completely forgot haha is Heath still around? Is there a version 2.0 of this?

I checked his profile a while back, he's been gone long enough that I wouldn't expect him to come back any time soon.

too bad heath doesn't post much on this forum
